There's a place for consoles - I for one am a Splinter Cell whore so I'm sure I'll be grabbing this at some point; considering it's Ubi it'll be hit $40 at some point within it's first 2 months of release so I'll snag it then.

I have visions of the gameplay from Zelda: Wind Waker in my head. While the first part of the game wasn't bad, the last 1/3 to half had me saying "fuck this" ... and that is why I will wait for this game.

People keep saying, what about Apple TV, Google TV, Roku, Android TV sticks, etc., and yet the Chromecast sold well above expectations. The device isn't really novel, it just packs several nice features together in an affordable package and slaps Google's name on it...and an open gaming console with those same features would likely be as much of a hit.

I don't quite agree - I think the driving force behind the Chromecast is its price point; under $40 for a streamer almost turns it to an impulse buy. I think there's a lot of people, like me, who want a streamer but are just too cheap to buy one. This will allow me to keep my lazy ass on the couch when the wife wants me to find the episode of Hart of Dixie that didn't record. If the Chromecast came in above $50 I don't think it would be in as high demand. Just my $.02

If I had to wager a guess, it's that the game is on "hiatus" in order to port the code from the Cell based architecture over to the X86 architecture. I bet it's pushing the limits of the PS3 and may be more inclined to fall in line with Yoshida's true vision on more powerful hardware. We'll see it again next E3...

Not sure they're "screwed" but with this option there will be a more technically advanced version of what they have. The down side is that the cost of ownership on the PS4/Vita combo will be at least twice that of the Wii U. That being said, the Vita is a much more adept machine for being "portable" than the Wii U controller since it can run games and software on its own. Again, I'm amazed at how awesome the Vita is and disappointed that there's no dev support for it. Maybe we'll see a price cut with E3 or around PS4 launch that will help drive sales and convince devs to cater to it.

I'm not opposed to Franklin's story, from what I can tell it's more about getting OUT of being gangsta'. Also, did anyone notice that all the gang members were wearing Grove Street green? Wonder if we'll see any San Andreas cameos.

Also, for those that want gameplay trailers, it's typical GTA fashion that they don't release those until a month or two before release.

And this is my problem; they seem to be working towards annualizing this franchise with it's DLC and releases so close together. Granted the BF4 release will most likely be late this year/early next year (to coencide with a new console lauch I suspect), but that's not enough time for people to "miss" the game yet. BF2 to BF3, THAT'S the right timeframe IMO. Then again, BF2 seemed like a much deeper game than BF3, so it's possible the're just hurring it up to dumb it down.
